Prove that 2cot2x+tanx=cotx

2cot2x= 2(1/tan2x)= 2(1/(2tanx/1-tan2x))=2(1-tan2x)/2tanx= (1-tan2x)/tanx(1-tan2x)/tanx +tanx=(1-tan2x)/tanx +tan2x/tanx=1/tanx=cotx

Differentiate the following: y=(7x^2+2)sinx


Do the circles with equations x^2 -2x + y^2 - 2y=7 and x^2 -10x + y^2 -8y=-37 touch and if so, in what way (tangent to each other? two point of intersection?)
